Transport

The easiest and quickest way to traverse the crowded city is on
the subway, which serves all the main areas of interest. Station
signs are written in English as well as Korean, and most lines have
English announcements too. Subways are extremely crowded during the
morning and evening rush hours, but are generally safe, though
plagued with hawkers and beggars. Tickets are bought from vending
machines or at ticket windows. Buses are frequent and cover the
whole city, but tend to be very crowded. Tickets can be bought on
board, or debit tickets can be purchased. Taxis are readily
available. Regular taxis (white or silver) charge an initial fee
and have a complex system of metering thereafter. Black luxury
taxis, called Mobeom taxis, are superior both in condition and
service.
